Kanchanaburi, Motorcycle Tour & Erawan National Park (day 4-6)

Although it's not the fastest way to travel to Kanchanaburi by train, it is definitely one of the most beautiful ways 🚞😍 On the way there, you can see many smaller villages, fruit plantations, and lakeshore landscapes.

This time, I didn't book a hostel in advance, I wanted to take a look around first. However, I quickly found the VN Guesthouse (Attention product placement 😁) and got a really great accommodation for 11 euros. Some of the rooms are floating on the water and the view over the Khwae Yai River is fantastic.

On the day of arrival, I didn't have anything else planned, I just wanted to explore the city a bit and visit the JJ Night Market in the evening. Of course, it didn't stop at the market, I also discovered the bar street, Maenamkwai road...😅✌

... and made new friends😁 because you never sit alone in a bar for long and 2 Italians and a Thai quickly joined me. The 3 of them planned a motorcycle tour to the mountains for the next day, so I joined them spontaneously. Unfortunately, there wasn't a single motorcycle to be found in all of Kanchanamburi... but about 1,000,000 scooters🤷‍♀️😅

The tour and the people I was allowed to do it with were wonderful. We left Kanchanaburi and went around the Erawan National Park (which I actually wanted to visit on this day, but then the bikers approached me...😁). At the halfway point, we were greeted with an incomparable lake panorama and we crossed it by boat.

Once we arrived on the other side, we stopped at a floating seafood restaurant😁🙌

After a refreshing meal, we made our way back and made a few small stops along the way.
